[Verse 1]
He was the kind of guy who loved so unselfishly
And everyone could see what a prize he was
Everyone but me
I must be blind
I must be the kind who don't know what they have
'Til they're all alone and sad

[Chorus]
There goes my baby
Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky
There goes my baby
And it's gonna be a cold hard night
Now that I finally see
How I need him to be
Right here by my side
There goes my baby
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

[Verse 2]
How could I have a love so fine
And not know what it's worth?
Maybe this empty heart he left behind is all that I deserve
What kind of fool finds a perfect jewel and can't see how it shines?
'Til she's all alone and cryin'
[Chorus]
There goes my baby
Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky
There goes my baby
And it's gonna be a cold hard night
Now that I finally see
How I need him to be
Right here by my side
There goes my baby
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

[Bridge]
How I wish I could hold him in my arms and say
This time I'm gonna treat him right
But it's too late

[Chorus]
There goes my baby
Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky
There goes my baby
And it's gonna be a cold hard night
Now that I finally see
How I need him to be
Right here by my side
There goes my baby
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
